WHY DOES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP KEEP WINNING PRIMARIES?

 
There is only one point in which all American Politicians, Democrats and Republicans, agree on: Mr. Donald Trump is not prepared to be the President of these United States (USA). Each party is hell bent to ensure that Mr. Trump does not emerge as the Republican nominee and each party has devised strategies to deny Trump the nomination.

Republican leadership are uniting behind the much hated Ted Cruz in an effort to make sure that the party has a brokered convention where the leadership would chose somebody else from “a smoke filled backroom.” Even the usually gentlemanly Mr. Obama who has refrained from participation in the primaries could not help but openly and often proclaiming that Trump is not a presidential material. Other elder statesmen, McCain, Bob Dole, etc., are on record that Trump is not the leader US should be looking for. US newspaper editors, reporters, and commentators have declared from their pulpits that Trump is not the man.

As if the voices of American politicians and media are not loud enough foreign leaders who usually seem uninterested in domestic affairs of US cannot keep their mouth shut and have often very undiplomatically showed alarm at the prospects of a Trump presidency. Usually tepid British Parliament in one of the recent Q&E periods unloaded their anger on Trump asking that he be barred from Britain even before he is nominated. The Bishop of Rome came all the way from the Papal Palace in Rome to the US/Mexican Border to show his disgust. Canadian Prime Minister has been quoted as saying he would accept US refugees who would flee to Canada when Trump becomes the president.

But Donald Trump keeps winning and increasing his margins of victory, and wining in the east, west, north and south and is now more than half way to getting the majority that would give him the nomination at first ballot. What is more amazing is that of all the Republican candidates Mr. Trump has most black and other minorities’ supporters who he seems to dislike so much. He seems to be doing well with Hispanic voters who he would deport in the first hour of his presidency. I have met enlightened Nigerians who are saying that they would vote for “The Donald” even after he singled out Nigerians as the worst of the “bad Africans” and who would not have a place in Trump America.

Why does Mr. Donald Trump keep winning despite opposition at home and abroad? Why are majority of Republican grass roots supporting him? Why is he spending the least amount of money and has no major PAC on his side and yet he keeps winning? Why? Why? Why?
 
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is what is driving Trumps success. After the Republicans have divided the nation into the poor and the rich; between the majority and the minority; between the Jew and the gentile (Trumps say he would be neutral in Mideast peace efforts); between men and women; between native sons and immigrants, GOP leadership turns around and accuses Mr. Trump of dividing the nation. The people are not as foolish as the politicians think they are.

Trump is honest. He is rich and does not deny it. He brags about it. He lets you know and not to forget how wealthy he is. He will help the rich, he would pass on his wealth to his heirs without estate taxation, he would cut the taxes for the rich, and he would make America rich again. US needs the rich just as it needs other groups. All the other presidential candidates are millionaires too but pretend to be “ordinary Americans” and promise to cut taxes, to suck it up to the rich, to make it a level playing field. All of the speeches are garbage and the grass roots know it. So they admire the one who has levelled with them. AND vote for him. 

Trump knows and feels what majority of Americans feel but are afraid to say so. The West is living in fear of the Muslim world. They do not want Middle Easterners in their borders. As much of Mideast is Muslim and terrorism has been equated with Islam, Americans do not want them in their mist. What does Trump say? Don’t bring them here until we understand their intentions. It makes sense to the common person but to the politicians they say the same tings but pretend that it is different. Mr. Cruz would bring them in but would make the police to patrol in their neighborhoods. This is the same as putting them in internment camps or in jails. Inquiring minds immediately recognized the hypocrisy and moved over to Trump’s side.

His critics are the strongest boosters of trump for they lie so openly and so often that the grass roots know who is who.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
